What is the 1 thing you Pray not to LOSE as you LOSE THE WEIGHT

Feb 28, 2010

I was talking to my 14yr old today. She is about as intelligent as a Harvard educated Professor with a Masters in INTELLECT !  In other words this young lady keeps me thinking (Thanx Pep).  She said Mom what is the one thing you Pray not to LOSE as you LOSE THE WEIGHT and why? Wow I never gave any thought to that question, but what a great one it is. After thinking for a few minutes this is what I finally came up with, there are two things I pray not to lose as I lose the weight; the 1st) COMPASSION- being plus size taught me to be compassionate. I know how it feels to be considered abnormal and how the awkward stares can make you second guess yourself. I pray that I remember to always be compassionate to others because compassion is one of the greatest gifts that we can offer to others it is the difference between tearing someone down and building them up. the 2nd) UNDERSTANDING- I continue to understand what it is that brought me to be obese and what can take me back to being obese again. Also that I understand it is going to take me a lifetime to adjust to the changes and therefore I adopt my new tool as a lifestyle change and not a temporary quick fix!!!!  I NOW POSE THE SAME QUESTION TO ALL OF YOU, MY OH FAMILY WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU PRAY NOT TO LOSE AS YOU LOSE THE WEIGHT, OR NOW THAT YOU HAVE LOST THE WEIGHT?  I will truly be looking forward to your answers. "I am only as strong as the faith I keep and the prayer I speak"
